A beer, some sushi, and a Kiwano.

Today was a good day. In fact, it was a great day. I recovered nicely from my fever and sore throat experience of the weekend and I awoke this morning feeling, well, the same as every other morning. But today, Kristin came over and we decided to go to Publix to get some lunch before our planned Six Feet Under marathon. So, we did. We wandered around Publix aimlessly for a long time, finding only miscellaneous items, but we finally decided on Sushi. I had been timid about Publix sushi in the past, but it ended up being rather tasty indeed. Along with the sushi, Kristin found the most bizarre piece of produce I have ever seen, the kiwano. At $4.99 per each, the spiney, bright orange "horned melon" was a sight to behold; Kristin didn't even think twice about buying one. When we got home and cut it open, the sight was even crazier: Inside there were hundreds of lime green pods..each filled with a jelly-like goo incasing a single seed. We discovered that one must suck the goo out of the pods (gross sounding, I know) in order to eat the Kiwano. Unfortunately, it was bitter as hell; but it was nothing a little Splenda couldnt fix. Overall, the Kiwano was an experience. However, if you want the taste of semi-bitter grapes you might as well not spend 5 bucks. But the kiwano was a hell of a lot cooler than some boring old grapes.

From there, we went to Toojay's and got carrot cake (today was a day of eating delight). We also talked. We went to Barnes and Noble and met up with Jenni (who continues to amaze me). Then I went to Stuart Beach to meet up with friends and to watch the full moon. By the time I got there, however, the mosquitos had sufficiently eaten them alive so they were leaving when I walked up. We went to Osceola Street Cafe for open mic night instead, where I ran into a friend from UF. She bought me an Amber Bock, which was incredibly good-tasting. I drank the whole thing, much to my dismay. I guess I am a dark beer drinker. I hung out there for a few hours, and then drove home at around one am. All in all my day was fantastic.

Well, it is past 4 in the morning. Linking every other word is definitely amusing, but as I have been finding them my eyes have been drifting shut. I just wanted to get this out there tonight (or this morning, whatever) while the events of today were still semi-fresh in my mind. Goodnight.
